I don't have any issue with the tire spoons, I've changed out a few tires and never had much of a problem. I keep two of them in my bike tool kit. I've never done the rear tire and never will so maybe that one is a pain.

I use 3 spoons which I believe are from Motion Pro, some Honda Pro Spray wax cleaner for tire and rim lubricant (also cleans up nice afterwords) and a carpenters clamp to compress the tire into the rut of the rim.

Howdy all,

Doesn't seem like there is any info out there on what works best, unless its the really beefy stuff.
I don't have any need for large racks, but I have ordered the smallish OEM...

So I was paroozing the service manual, and can't seem to find the lubrication/maintenance frequency for the swing arm or any of the other zerk gun connection points.
Anyone know where to find that info? Or recommendations on how often?
I figure aside from making a mess you could do it...
